Excuse me, could you please clarify for me the difference between BSC and Ethereum? I've heard that they are both blockchains, but are they interchangeable or do they serve different purposes? I'm curious to know if BSC is essentially the same as Ethereum, or if there are notable distinctions in terms of functionality, use cases, and perhaps even the technologies they employ. Any insights you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Could you please clarify whether Ethereum itself is considered a layer 2 solution, or is it a misconception to label it as such? Layer 2 solutions are typically understood as technologies that build upon and enhance the functionality of the base blockchain layer, known as layer 1. Ethereum, as a blockchain platform, serves as the foundation for many decentralized applications and smart contracts. However, it's important to distinguish between Ethereum as the layer 1 blockchain and the various layer 2 scaling solutions that have been developed to improve its performance, such as rollups and sidechains. So, is it accurate to say that Ethereum is a layer 2, or are we referring to the enhancements built on top of it?
